Which is world's most beautiful building? It is built on 42 acres, attracts millions of tourists every year, it is…, located in…, not Burj Khalifa in Dubai
New Delhi: When we talk about beauty then our mind starts wandering from one person to the other, one flower to the other, one object to the other, and from one building to the other. What we perceive as most beautiful might not appeal to someone else and vice versa. Nevertheless, we witness many competitions to nominate and declare only one entity out of a bunch. For instance, we have Miss Universe, Miss World, and Most Beautiful so and so! Which building is named 'Most Beautiful Building in The World'? Here, we will talk about a structure, a building that has officially been declared the 'most beautiful building in the world' and it is in India. It is an architectural marvel that attracts millions of tourists every year. An epic timeless symbol of love, it is none other than the Taj Mahal, crafted of pure white marble. It is named as the most beautiful building in the world by Time Out, a global authority of travel and culture. Taj Mahal tops a list of 24 most beautiful buildings in the world, shortlisted by Time Out travel editors. What is Taj Mahal? The Taj Mahal is an ivory-white marble mausoleum on the right bank of the river Yamuna in Agra, Uttar Pradesh, India. It was commissioned in 1631 by the fifth Mughal emperor, Shah Jahan to house the tomb of his beloved wife, Mumtaz Mahal. It also houses the tomb of Shah Jahan himself. The tomb is the centrepiece of a 17-hectare (42-acre) complex, which includes a mosque and a guest house, and is set in formal gardens bounded on three sides by a crenellated wall. Construction of the mausoleum was completed in 1648, but work continued on other phases of the project for another five years. The Taj Mahal complex is believed to have been completed in its entirety in 1653. When was it designated UNESCO World Heritage Site? The Taj Mahal was designated as a UNESCO World Heritage Site in 1983 for being 'the jewel of Islamic art in India and one of the universally admired masterpieces of the world's heritage'. The Taj Mahal is a major tourist attraction and attracts more than five million visitors a year. In 2007, it was declared a winner of the New 7 Wonders of the World initiative. The Taj Mahal and its setting, surrounding grounds, and structures are a Monument of National Importance, administered by the Archaeological Survey of India. What are 7 fascinating facts about the Taj Mahal? Taj Mahal is taller than Delhi's Qutub Minar. The Taj Mahal is 73 m high, while the Qutub Minar stands at 72.5 m. There are more than 10 replicas of the Taj around the world. The colour of Taj Mahal keeps changing throughout the day as it basks in diverse shades as the sun ascends and descends. Use of precious stones. The Taj Mahal is adorned with more than 40 types of precious and semi-precious stones, including pearls, diamonds, emeralds and sapphires, among others. Over 1000 elephants were used Elephants played an important role in building the Taj Mahal. Nearly 1000 elephants were used to transfer the construction material from one place to another during that time. It took around 20 years to complete the Taj Mahal and about 20000 workers were employed in the construction work.

The two Asian airports named among the most beautiful airports in the world for 2025
Increasingly, airports are being designed not as mere transitional spaces. Instead, they're being treated as expressions of the destination's history and culture, and as restful – even inspiring – landing points for weary travellers. Asian airports like Singapore Changi Airport and Bangkok's Suvarnabhumi Satellite Terminal 1, laureates on the Prix Versailles Most Beautiful Airports in the World 2024 list, certainly get it with nature-inspired interiors and culturally informed installations on every corner. This year, they pass the torch to another two Asian airports on the 2025 list of the world's six most beautiful airports. The first airport to be recognised by Prix Versailles is Yantai Penglai International Airport, your first port of call in Yantai, China. Specifically, Terminal 2 of the airport has been marked for its elegant and sweeping roofline, which evokes Mount Kunyu, a picturesque mountain range located between Yantai City and Weihai City. The entire terminal is flooded with natural light, illuminating the natural curves, tones, and materials that make up the interior. Prix Versailles also highlights reinterpreations of wooden ships' hulls within the terminal inspired by the Maritime Silk Road. Osaka, Japan is a particularly popular destination this year, with many flocking to the city for the 2025 World Expo. If you're heading down, pop into the gorgeous Kansai International Airport Terminal 1, which has just been expanded and refreshed. Its capacity has now been expanded by 25%, with a smart queue management system to help manage growing crowds. Its interiors have also undergone a makeover: natural materials in hues of brown now give the space a distinctive Japanese feel. The most beautiful airports in the world for 2025, according to Prix Versailles: Yantai Penglai International Airport, Terminal 2 – Yantai, China Marseille Provence Airport, Terminal 1 – Marignane, France Roland Garros Airport, Arrivals Terminal – Réunion Island, France Kansai International Airport, Terminal 1 – Osaka, Japan Portland International Airport, Main Terminal – Portland, United States San Francisco International Airport, Terminal 1 – San Francisco, United States

From Our Editor-in-Chief: Welcome to the 2025 World's Most Beautiful Issue
One of my first memories working at PEOPLE was the night the 50 Most Beautiful People issue was set to ship, back in 2005. The managing editor at the time had Julia Roberts on the cover, but reporting had just come in confirming that Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie were a couple after his split from Jennifer Aniston earlier that year. There was talk of running it as the cover instead but people were divided, so the editor hung the two mocked-up options outside her office and invited the entire staff to vote on which should run, including me, then just an editorial assistant. I voted for the Julia Roberts cover and I remember her being shocked that so many young staffers were choosing the annual franchise over a splashy news moment. 'People wait for this all year!' I remember saying. We ran Julia as the cover. Related: See Every Celebrity PEOPLE Named the World's Most Beautiful — and Who Got the Honor in 2025 It's been called a lot of things during the 35 years we've had this franchise: 50 Most Beautiful People (with men in the mix too!), World's Most Beautiful, the Beautiful Issue or just 'beauties,' as we all internally reference it. But the spirit of this issue remains the same. We're taking a look at stars who have dominated the cultural conversation. We're examining and challenging the cultural beauty standards that so many people grapple with. And we're celebrating the determination and inner strength that is what really shines through on the screen for these women. I couldn't be more excited for this year's cover star, Demi Moore. Last year, her film, The Substance, took a visceral look at Hollywood's toxic obsession with youth, earning her a Golden Globe and a Screen Actors Guild Award. It also forced her to face her own years-long journey towards self-acceptance. 'Demi admitted she has been through a lot of pain and growth to get to this place in her life where she's now found true peace of mind about who she is and what she wants,' says editor at large Julie Jordan, who has done the 'beauties' cover interview 16 times. 'It's hard not to be starstruck even though I've been doing this so long because these women are truly stunning (never mind the smoke and mirrors of a shoot). I'm always grateful that they seem very normal with the same insecurities most of us have and more than appreciative for being given the cover.' This year is also an exciting moment for the franchise. We are debuting it on PEOPLE's brand new app, where you can see a fun motion version of the cover. The PEOPLE App will also feature exclusive behind-the-scenes content from all our shoots, including a full, podcast-style video of Julie's cover interview with Demi, and will be the only place where you can watch People's brand-new reality show, The Fourth Wall, which will drop three new episodes every week. Related: Meet the Cast of PEOPLE's Short-Form Reality Show The Fourth Wall This week you'll get an exclusive inside look at the making of the 'beauties' issue featuring PEOPLE staffers throughout the ranks spilling the tea. I hope you enjoy this year's issue everywhere it lives: in print, online, on social, on YouTube and on the PEOPLE App. Keep reading, clicking and watching! Read the original article on People

Demi Moore Admits She Used to 'Torture' Her Body With 'Crazy' Workouts: 'I Was Really Just Punishing Myself' (Exclusive)
Looking back, Demi Moore now recognizes the "torture" she put her body through early in her career. The Substance star, 62, who graces the cover of PEOPLE's World's Most Beautiful issue, has long been vocal about the rigorous diet and exercise regimens she maintained for trailblazing roles in films like 1996's Striptease and G.I. Jane the following year. "I mean, crazy things [with] diet and exercise, biking from Malibu and going all the way to Paramount about 26 miles," she recalls in this week's cover story. "All because I had placed so much value on what my outsides looked like." Moore insists the biggest difference for her today is that "it's so much more about my overall health and well-being. It's much more about longevity and quality of life. And I think I've evolved into greater gentility towards myself." The actress, who bulked up to portray Lieutenant Jordan O'Neill in G.I. Jane, admits at the time she was "so harsh and had a much more antagonistic relationship with my body. And straight up, I was really just punishing myself," she says. "And in this desire to dominate it versus now, I have a much more kind of intuitive, relaxed, trusting relationship with my body." The turning point for the actress came after G.I. Jane was wrapped. "I had transformed my body multiple times, and obviously it was a much bigger, muscular body. And I'd had this incredible experience on this film, and I had experienced this sense of strength," she explains. "But I realized, I didn't want to wear that. I wanted to just have that within me. And I think I was exhausted from putting it through so much over such a long period of time." Moore says that realization allowed her to release the stronghold on her diet and exercise. "I stopped trying to control my food and I had a moment of surrender where I just let go and really understood what it meant to be in acceptance of my body as it is, even though it's not the body I wanted. I really let go," she recalls. "I remember just asking to be my natural size because I didn't know what it was anymore. I had three pregnancies. I had done all of this diet and exercise and controlled and changed it. And I didn't know. So I just let go." While G.I. Jane demanded more physical strength, her role FBI secretary-turned-stripper in the 1996 film Striptease was empowering mentally (and gave her a record-breaking salary at the time of $12.5 million). "I think I was so uncomfortable actually with the dancing part," she admits. "So I think the experience and sensation of dancing and moving and finding my own comfort with my own body in that way was very empowering and very liberating." Related: World's Most Beautiful: Of Course It's Demi! Read Her Candid Interview and See the Stunning Photos As for whether or not that comfort zone lent to her nude scenes in The Substance, Moore says there was also "liberation in that place of acceptance of my body as someone in their 60s. And it being what it is and it's not the body that I had at 20, even when I was complaining about the body had at 20 or 30," she admits. "Even though it was a very vulnerable experience and a very raw experience. Because I really knew that in doing so, it was in service to the story, in service to what was important. The nudity was really an important part of the vulnerability that needed to be conveyed."Now when it comes to embracing aging in Hollywood, Moore allows the biggest thing "is really being in acceptance of who we are, as we are, at whatever moment that is," she says. "I have a greater appreciation for all that my body has been through that brought me to now. Like how incredible that my body grew three human beings and I have overall really incredible health. That doesn't mean that sometimes I look in the mirror and I don't go, 'Oh God, I look old,' or 'Oh, my face is falling,' I do. But at the same time I can accept that that is where I'm at today and know the difference is that doesn't define my value or who I am." Related: Demi Moore Shares Details of Her 'Beautiful, Easy Day' After This Year's Oscars (Exclusive) These days, Moore says she trusts her body "when it tells me it needs something to eat, that it's thirsty. I listen to my body and I have a lot less fear. When I was younger, I felt like my body was betraying me. And so I then just tried to control it. And now I don't operate from that place. It's a much more aligned relationship," she says. She begins each day "anchoring with a short meditation, journaling. And overall I like really nutrient-dense food. I don't eat meat. I do eat eggs. But I think a big part of wellness is really inside out," she adds. "And I've come to realize how important sleep is. I mean, I'm not perfect. I still do drink Red Bull. I do love it. But not many. One." Read the original article on People
